I came here to post the opposite: cancellation of frothy IPOs is a good sign of a coming downturn, isn't it?

The market currently appears to be saying, “ya know, if we were in a bubble, I might buy your stinky shit. But because we’re not in a bubble, and I have no great FOMO, I’m going to take a pass on your stinky turd of an IPO.”

Another way of looking at it, anyway. I have no insight one way or the other.

That's because WeWork is obviously bad. But what about other, not so obvious bad-bets?
